Sony Corporation is considering an offer for Hong Kong-based Leyou Technologies, owner Warframe developer Digital Extremes and Gear Tactics Developer Splash Damage, according to a Bloomberg report.
The company is reportedly working with a financial advisor on a potential offer for the company. Sony Corporation hopes to outperform other bidders with greater certainty of financing, with Leyou Technology’s controlling shareholder, Charles Yuk, aiming to choose a buyer and sign an agreement as early as this month, according to the report.
Talks are ongoing and no final decision has been made, and other bidders may still emerge, the report concluded. When Bloomberg contacted them, representatives from Sony Corporation and Leyou Technologies declined to comment.
In addition to the aforementioned subsidiaries, Leyou Technologies also owns the Los Angeles-based publishing label Athlon Games, which published Samurai Shodown in North America and Europe; has a minority interest in Certain Affinity; and is working with Amazon on an online game based on The Lord of the rings.
